My [.NET Rocks Interview about Regular Expressions in now officially online](http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showID=198) and I am excited!

I'll have a good listen at my walk tonight, so if you get to listen to it first, your comments are welcome on this post. I'd be happy to hear whatever criticism you have - I'll even review myself on the blog after I listen to it. I promise to be as objective as possible :)

We're also planning to do a [DNR TV](http://www.dnrtv.com/) show where I'll show Regex in use (I think I'll show how to do site scraping very easily, or log parsing.. ideas?)
